This post was supposed to be about my family's adventures in Aspen last weekend.How we stayed at the base of Snowmass Mountain and were swept up the mountain in a snowcat sleigh ride to enjoy a gourmet dinner.
And don't forget about the glorious skiing and how much the children would have relished playing at Snowmass' infamous Treehouse Kid's Adventure Center.
Instead, I shall document my week by Facebook posts.
Wednesday
Do you know those days when you love everything about being a parent and can't get enough of your kids? TODAY WASN'T ONE OF THOSE DAYS.
Thursday
Tip: Do not EVER complain when you've had a bad day. Because GUARANTEED the next day can always get worse.
Tomorrow's trip to Aspen can't come soon enough.
Friday
Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it does. I was up all night with puking Bode. Canceled Aspen trip. Officially going into mourning. Trip postponed until late-February, barring yet another disaster.
================
Bode started to feel better on Saturday so we salvaged the weekend by eating dinner at glorious Zengo, going for a long walk along the river and attending a free day at the zoo. I've always loved the polar bears but felt a kinship with them when I read their plaque: the females spend most of their adult lives either pregnant or caring for their young.
After the last week I had, I definitely knew the feeling.
The quote of the day was Hadley's. For a bit of background, the kids are really into the whole Land Before Time series and love learning about dinosaurs and their babies. Hadley's quote?
"Daddy, that giraffe is sitting on a big EGG!"
It was his scrotum.

I'm so sorry, Amber. I know you must have been so looking forward to the trip...since you are a skiier and all...
This isn't the first time sickness has ruined your plans. As they say, "Motherhood isn't for sissies"...true dat.
I know what you mean about motherhood. :) I have been sitting at home with Lexi for 2 days because of lovely puking. However, I am glad that I didn't have an exciting trip to Aspen to mourn.
That does suck that you didn't get to go away.
Is it bad form to laugh?
Not AT you, of course.
I know the trip will be especially delicious in February.
Glad your kids still are hilarious even when things don't go as planned
Ummmmm thanks. I think? :-)
I hope Bode is feeling 100 per cent better. And I am looking forward for pictures of the Feb. trip.
It will be memorable if nothing else. :-)

The quote of the day from your daughter made me laugh out loud. She must have your sense of humor. Thank you for the smiles today.
Peace.

Bummed that you didn't get to go due to sickness. And it sounds like (via today on Twitter) you're feeling not so great too. Bah. Here's hoping you start feeling better soon!
In my best old hippy terminology – “Awww man, what a bummer!”
Yikes! That IS a sucky day! Glad you are all on the mend!
At least you now have Feb. to look forward to!
